Hi everybody!,
I am in the process of building an Audio/Video editing supercomputer... My budget is $5k but i am willing to go higher if need be. I plan on having this computer for years to come and i want to be able to upgrade it as the years pass.
So far i have a
-Coolermaster Cosmos 2 case.
-4x WD black 4tb drives which will be set up in raid 10.
-Samsung 512gb pro 840 SSD for my boot drive and apps.
So My question for everybody is what Cpu should I be buying. I've researched my butt off and cant seem to decide between the i7 haswell 4770k (LGA-1150) or the i7 sandy bridge 3930k. the problem I've ran into is that the haswell being as new as it is doesnt have very many mother boards that support the 1150 socket that also supports over 32gbs of ram.. so i guess another question is do you guys think that the 2011 socket or the 1150 socket will be the socket of the future... im torn and sick of reading and shopping. also what is the deal with server motherboards? can you run a windows based OS on them? ..
